Is a bus driver allowed to throw my daughter off because her pass didn't work? DEAN DUNHAM replies
Daily MailI pay for my 13-year-old daughter’s bus pass to travel to and from school. Frozen out: A reader's 13-year-old daughter was left standing in the snow after a bus ticket machine failed to recognise her valid pass Dean Dunham replies: The starting point is the school – whether the bus service is operated by the school itself or a private bus company – which will have a set of rules or a policy in relation to school bus service and this will form the basis of the contract. To make a successful claim you must demonstrate that your possession of the land has been firstly what is called ‘actual’, meaning you have physically used the land as an owner would. Then you must demonstrate you have been ‘exclusive’, meaning you have used the land without sharing possession with others, including the true owner. You must demonstrate ‘hostile’; meaning your use of the land is without the permission of the true owner; and ‘continuous’ – here you must have used the land continuously for the statutory period, which is typically ten years where the land is unregistered and 12 years where it’s registered.
